NACE. or
The territories of Wyoming and Mon.

The territories OF Wyoming and Mon
tana, says the Omaha Bee, are at the
present time enjoying a remarkable degree
of prosperity. The development of the
oil fields in Wyoming, her mineral re-
sources. together with the building Of new
railroads and the extension Of lines already
in operation, give evidence of largely in
creased settlement. There are now in
that territory, in operation. 1853 miles Of
railroad.
The next two years will doubtless wit
ness the construction of at least a thou.
slud miles of road. A road will be built
from Rapid City, D. T., into Crook
county, to the oil 6ells, 100 miles; the
extension of the Wyoming Central
from Fort Casper, the present end of
the grade, to the western line of the ter
litory will be 3OJ miles. The extension
of the Chez enne J. Northern to the
northern line Of the territory will be also
800 miles, while the Burlington road is
making its survey TO enter the territory
near Fort Laramie aud push to the
western line of the territory, covering 500.
With su, b increased railroad facilities,
the settlement of agricultural lands, the
opening Of te ritory not yet explored,
will all tend to secure a wonderful immi
grafton in Wyoming

THE Sun seems to be l~aooring under
the mistaken impression that Land Com
missioner Spark has caused the c~ancella
ton of the $4,000 acres of land claimed
by the Union Cattle company and the
Goshen Hole Irrigation company. This
is, of course, incorrect. When a report
is sent on to Washington, as was the case
with these compani,s. the department
may, if it feels warranted by facts pre-
sented, send instructions to the local land
Office here to notify the claimants to show
cause why their entries should not be can
celled. The e~ntryEen or their attorneys
then appear and make application for a
hearing alleging the facts to be false or
incorrect as the case may be. The whole
matter is then referred to the department
which orders a hearing on a day selected
by the special agent having the case i'll
charge.

Just my luck" said Sheriff S~harpless,
yesterday, as the jury in the case of
Kicker, charged with stealing a livery rig
fromJ. @. Abney last fall, brought in a
verdict of not guilty. Here I've been
feeding that old cuss on delicacies for the
last three weeks to keep him alive long
enough to get a conviction end the $3.50
reward offered by the territory, and the
jury acquits him. Why, I've let that old
villain have the freedom Of the corridor,
had Ben Smalley tell him funny stories,
and gave him strawberries occasionally,
expecting that an intelligent jury would
never let a horse thief escape and beat me
out oil $3.50 at the same time. My conf
dence in human NATURE is badly shaken;
but I'll bet The new depot against the city
hall that if the jury hadn't caught tight OF
that ancient fossil they would have found
him guilty in less Than a minute, bu; the
forlorn appearance of the o d wreck eI
cited their sympathy and they let him

party Of tystan lers that he had spent $5O
out of his own pocket in the capture Of
the man and that the jury had been
guilty Of 4 breach of trust in not convict
ing him.

THE constant increase 10 the subscrip
ton list CT THE WEEKLY LEADER is very
gratifying. The paper consists of twelve
pages, which are filled weekly with the
choicest reading matter that we are able
to procure. That the paper is apple
ciatcd is evidenced By its constantly
widening circle Of readers.
The daily edition in the meantime is not
disposed to lake a back seat. II has so
far kept its promise of not playing second
fiddle to its rivals, and the effect of its
course is already apparent in the healthy
increase Of its subscription list.

the event of ore yielding even 81 per ton,
and some of it has assayed a. high as

PEOPLE TALKED ABOUT.

Ex-Gov. Rufus Bullock. of Georgia, says
the Southwestern people are just discover
ing what the West learned a quarter of a
century ago, that railroads must be the
pioneers of development.
DR.. William NJ. Gibson, who died the
other day at Jamestown, Pa, mindful of
the usual fate of monumental subscrip-
tons, took the precaution to build him
self a 100000 monument before he died.
The Rev. DR.. Bacon did not vacate his
charge in Savannah for telling his people
some of Gods truths about the war. He
gave them a talk that brought tears, and
they stayed till after service 20 shake
hands.
Republican love for the old soldier Is
further exemplified by the persistent at.
tacBs which the organs are making on
General Black, Commissioner of Pensions.
He is an old soldier who carries more
rebel lead in his body than the entire Des
Moines Grand Army post ever saw, but he
is Democrat.-Chicago Herald.
DR.. Berry Carpenter, who died recently
st Lancaster, Pa, was the family physician
of Thsddeus Stevens and James Buchanan,
and attended them both in their last ILL
nesses 1t was at his wedding that they
met for the last time, and he was the me-
distor who effected q reconciliation be.
tween them after long estrangement.
Mr.. George w. Childs has added another
to bis great collection of souvenirs. 1t is
tie silk hat that the late Gen. Grant wore
during his tour around the world. The
late Generals initials in gold-plated letters
are placed on the lining inside the crown.
The hat was sent to Mr.. Childs by a gen
tleman in New York.
General Simon cameron, now eighty.
eight years old, took one thousand cigars
and seven cases of champagne with him
when he sailed FOR Europe the other day.
Larry Jerome and q Philadelphia politl.

ingly hight, aud fluctuations except where
special pressure is brought to bear, extremely
narrow. There was moderately bullish feeling
